Ashamed, flabbergasted, but alive and kicking!

Hi there folks!
Almost run out of time, but here I am, fulfilling the weekly-post-promise. As it is already late, I am going to be quick, although I can assure more is to come (really) soon.

This week I have happened to get an overdose of amazing English learning sources I hadn't ever imagined would exist in such a big number. It was like references to english learning just kept popping up all the time, out of the blue. Some of the e-resources I came across this week and which are easy to share are listed below:

vocabulary:

portuguese-english blogs - surprisingly good material there!

All those are worth each minute you can spend on them.
And, just to deny I only pasted the websites, not ading anything of my own this week, I'd like to comment on an unusual word: bumpkim (sounds like pumpkin...). It is a word which shows disapproval, and sometimes is even offensive, used to refer to a person who was brought up in the countryside (remembers me of someone... jk). I was saving it for my vacations - going to receive an special guest - but couldn't just keep it for myself. As a way of not forgetting it, I wrote it on my hand before going bed, and, to my utter astonishment, it worked! Maybe I've just developped a new and fantastic method of language-study!! Well, let aside the joke, it is worth messing up with your study method. Although with time people tend to acquire knowledge of their favourite ways of learning, it is sometimes worth to change to less effective, different ways, even if it is just for fun. It is nice having an unusual learning experience, you'll remember it later. I think.

As usual, follows a saying - an English proverb this time:

Enough is as good as a feast.

Next week - or as I prefer to call it - this week, if the best comes to the best, I'll be able to post a heap of (= a lot of) sharp material here. Anyway, even if the worse comes to the worse, it will be done ASAP (= as soon as possible)

ttys! (talk to you soon)
